This isn’t directly beer-related, but it’s important to us here at Hoperatives nonetheless. Today — right around the time this post is going up — Hoperative #212, Hoperatives contributor and stalwart member of the Northern Kentucky Brewer’s Guild Chris McGreevy is graduating from the Department of Criminal Justice Training’s academy at Eastern Kentucky University. With that he’ll embark on his lifelong dream of becoming a police officer. Chris is a wonderful dad, a great friend and he’s very important to all of us here at Hoperatives.

Congratulations, Chris. We proud of you and we’ll let you know when we’re done buying your beer.
